As a new Computing Scholar in the summer of 2019, I considered myself a reasonably strong programmer, but I knew I lacked experience with industry standards such as version control, continuous integration, and documentation. While working at the Lab, I finally got hands on experience using Git, Elastic tools for monitoring and security, and I learned how to write and deploy Docker containers. While I'm proud of those accomplishments, I should mention I didn't come into the Lab with any of those skills already acquired.

I have interned at the lab for the past two summers, so this will be my third summer here! Ever since my first summer here, I have felt very supported. My first summer, I interned in DTED and worked on the proof-of-concept of an experiment that would eventually fly on a sounding rocket the next year. The next summer, I supported a project in MED where we used microspheres to detect different gaseous environments. This summer, I am interning in CED and working on NIF diagnostics.

I have been privileged to work at the Lawrence Livermore National Labs as a summer intern for the second consecutive year. My project involves revamping old and outdated nuclear spectrometry systems at our Nuclear Counting Facility. As an electrical engineering student with an interest in control systems, I have really enjoyed programming and testing software, examining old schematics and creating new diagrams, designing the hardware layout, and interfacing the sensors and actuators with an embedded processor.
